A brief note regarding Paris' and Ray's comments about sales taxes. People
with low incomes are hit far harder by sales taxes than people in the middle
or upper income brackets. Figure out the math. You buy a loaf of bread for a
dollar, and have a 5% sales tax on it. That 5 cents hits you a lot more if
you're poor than if you have a $100,000 a year salary. Income tax in this
country is a regressive tax - the more you make theoretically the more you
pay (although with the new tax cuts now that's arguable). Sales taxes work
the opposite, they affect the rich far more than the poor. Why should we
penalize some working Joe who makes $25,000 a year and supports a wife and
kids on that small income. In contrast a couple making a combined income of
$100,000 are far less hurt by the same sales tax.
